The Genie Lifestyle Management
Who spoke of only “3 wishes”? Très passé! I can now realise as many, many
wishes as you make. Dreams, too. I do my magic for “little errands”, and extravagant whims
alike… Do you want someone to pay for your bills? Walk your pedigree Dalmatian? Treat
you like royalty, do your shopping? Find you the pair of Manolos that Sarah Jessica bought
in the 69th episode of Sex and the City? Oops! You got me! I’m no trivial; nor do you need
to rub me. You dream, make a request and live it. What magic! What’s the aim? To help
you enjoy, trough high-standard “life management” services, an everyday life less ordinary,
asking me to manage what you have no time for! And then! Look what will happen: you’ll
have free time to put quality into the life of the one you love most in the world; yourself; It’s
not selfish or “spoilt”: when you love yourself, you love the world. What a dreamy reality!

ternational ones, -many of which are making a first on the Greek
market- are expected to make Golden Hall the new reference
point for upscale shopping in Greece and to offer new dynamics
in the commercial world.

team in the Volvo Ocean Race, had conquered the first place in the general ranking at the end of the first sail-
ing race at the Port of Cape Town. Driven by its slogan “Change the Game”, PUMA could not but make the dif-
ference in our country’s social life, too. So, during the Forum, special reference was also made to Puma Hellas’
co-operation with the charity organisation “Mazi gia to Paidi” (Together for Children), exhibiting once again the
social sensitivity of both the company and Glou family. The evening ended with a concert by Michalis Hatzigiannis.

Pop queen Madonna had a unique musical show

for the first time on the occasion of her “STICKY
& SWEET” world tour. The long-awaited show,
a true life experience for those who were there
–including prominent politicians, enterpreneurs
and famous artists - will go down in history as one
of the greatest music events in our country.
Two-hundred super-lucky COSMOTE subscrib-
ers got to watch the show just a step away from
the stage and live this memorable experience, af-
ter winning one hundred double “golden” tickets
in an SMS contest.
In the framework of its sponsorship, COSMOTE
undertook a remarkable Recycling initiative, en-
abling the public to actively contribute to environ-
mental protection. All the packages that people
used during the concert were gathered in special
bins placed along isles in the concert area. The im-
pressive involvement of the people is an encour-
aging message for the company’s effort to raise
citizens’ awareness in environmental matters.
